Pilliga
Epheremeral creeks provide the only breaks in the dense Pilliga Forest.
Pilliga is a small village in northern New South Wales. It is located in the Pilliga Forest, also known as the Pilliga Scrub, an area mainly covered by native pine trees, supporting a rich assortment of bird life and a significant timber harvesting industry. The Pilliga Pines are small trees adapted to growing in dry conditions. The wood is resistant to termites. The book A Million Wild Acres by Eric Rolls provides extensive information about the history and environment of the Pilliga area.
